Astra North Shore first opened in 2005 in Takapuna, and we moved to our current location in Albany in 2018. As well as a bigger store and more gowns, we also have parking right outside; and as an added bonus our fantastic sister store The Bridal Outlet is right next door. So make sure you leave enough time to have a look in both.
The salon is a gorgeous airy space with big windows and lots of light.
We aren't in a retail precinct so it is a really quiet and relaxing experience.
I went to see Lara at Astra Bridal on a Saturday and had the best time. I was a little nervous going in, as it was my first time looking, but she was amazing and so helpful. She and the whole team made the experience for me and my family so much fun. They were all incredibly knowledgeable, and we truly felt well taken care of. I could not recommend them more! As a curvy girl, I was worried about not being able to try on many dresses, but they were just as determined as I was to see me in every dress we picked. There was no embarrassment or awkwardness whatsoever. The dresses are also very fairly priced!

I could not have asked for a better experience finding my wedding dress! Joannah was amazing throughout the entire process, from the initial Zoom consultation to finding my perfect dress! I could not recommend Astra North Shore enough!

What a wonderful experience and service provided by Astra Bridal North Shore! Sarah was everything you could want in a consultant, making the pre-appointment meeting through to purchasing so fun and easy. They take the time to ask questions in order to provide the best dress for you. It helps to have an open mind, because they are the professionals, and it turns out that what I thought I wanted didn’t suit me as well as their recommendations. I highly and strongly recommend the service provided by Sarah and the wider Astra Bridal team. The range of dresses was great. Even if the dress wasn’t the right size, the team could clip it to show you what it would look like in your size. They also have options for sleeves should you want to customise the dresses (although this might be part of the in-house range only?). 5 stars all around. Would give 6 if it were a possibility. Thanks, team!
